What happens if you delete the snapeda footprint?

jfmateos also had a problem with snapeda, and he apparently managed to solve it himself.

I’m getting a bit sleepy now, and encountered this half typed post…
DS9503 Zener diode has a simple 6-pin SMD package, but I did not see it’s measurements in the datasheet. If you know it’s measurements you can design a footprint for this component in about 2 minutes with one of KiCad’s Footprint wizards.
Bedtime, maybe more tomorrow.
